I was excited on the ride down and Mama was tryin’ her best to temper my mood.

A hospital is more than a place where people go to heal; it is a part of the community that fosters health and represents hope.
From providing treatment and comfort to the sick, to welcoming new life into the world, hospitals are central to a healthy and optimistic community.
That’s the message Springs Memorial Hospital hopes to convey through its celebration of National Hospital Week 2013.

Mother’s Day is today, May 12, a holiday recognized nationally, thanks to a joint resolution signed by President Woodrow Wilson on May 8, 1914. That resolution designated the second Sunday in May as a day to celebrate mothers and their tireless dedication to their children and families. For one Lancaster mom, this Mother’s Day will probably have much more meaning than it used to.

GREAT FALLS – Two years ago, a piece of history was uncovered in Great Falls.
“Stoney Lonesome,” the old town jail, was unearthed. But now the brick building sits abandoned with weeds and bushes growing up around it.
Great Falls Mayor Don Camp says he has not abandoned the historical project. He said the weather has prevented plans to spruce up the area and make the piece of history a place people would want to visit.
